Ergonomadic is an IRC daemon written from scratch in Go. Pull requests

## Why?
2012-04-18 06:58:26 +02:00
I wanted to learn Go.
## What's with the name?
2012-04-18 06:58:26 +02:00
"Ergonomadic" is an anagram of "Go IRC Daemon".

## What about SSL/TLS support?
Go has a not-yet-verified-as-safe TLS 1.2 implementation. Sadly, many
popular IRC clients will negotiate nothing newer than SSLv2. If you
want to use SSL to protect traffic, I recommend using
[stunnel](https://www.stunnel.org/index.html) version 4.56 with
haproxy's
[PROXY protocol](http://haproxy.1wt.eu/download/1.5/doc/proxy-protocol.txt). This
will allow the server to get the client's original addresses for
hostname lookups.

## Installation
2014-02-10 00:15:02 +01:00

```
## Configuration
2014-03-01 23:45:23 +01:00
See the example `ergonomadic.conf`. Passwords are base64-encoded
bcrypted byte strings. You can generate them with the `genpasswd`
subcommand.
2014-02-27 07:25:10 +01:00
```sh
2014-03-01 23:45:23 +01:00
ergonomadic -genpasswd 'hunter2!'
2014-02-27 07:25:10 +01:00
